Aimed at anyone involved with manufacturing engineering systems, this book is the published proceedings of the 14th National Conference on Manufacturing Research. The conference was held at the University of Derby, UK, on 7-9 September 1998. The papers presented are organised into several themes, representing state-of-the-art research in the areas of manufacturing, engineering, systems and management. Themes covered include manufacturing technology, manufacturing systems, production and inventory control, process planning and scheduling, virtual reality, robots, automation and CAD, modelling and simulation, manufacturing strategy/management, business process re-engineering, design management, knowledge-based systems and quality control management.

Presenting more than 100 papers and over 200 authors, this is a well-written and valuable reference book for those in both research and industry who have an interest in modern manufacturing technology.
